I kickstarted this and can't wait to get playing.

AI learned em-dashes from us. Why should we change? It's the one who sucks.

Trump’s decline is a threat to the world This morning, at approximately 11:00 a.m., the President of the United States entered the East Room with a noticeable rash peeking out from the right side of his collar. His orange makeup appeared pat...

"The President ... is not fit for office. He is physically declining. He is mentally diminished. ... He is surrounded by people who are using his decline to consolidate their own power, and they are destabilizing the entire world in the process." heatherdelaneyreese.substack.com/p/trumps-dec...

Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

ICE Is Expanding Across the US at Breakneck Speed. Here’s Where It’s Going Next ICE plans to lease offices throughout the US as part of a secret, months-long expansion campaign. WIRED is publishing dozens of these locations.

NEW: Documents obtained by @wired.com show that ICE has or plans to open more than 150 facilities around the US, in nearly every state, many near major metro areas. @leahfeiger.bsky.social has the scoop: www.wired.com/story/ice-ex...

Google to pay $68 million over allegations its voice assistant eavesdropped on users Class-action lawsuit alleged that Google's voice assistant illegally recorded and shared private conversations with advertisers.

Do you remember when people were saying "I think my phone is listening to me, i'm getting ads for stuff I spoke about" and people said "They arent listening to you, they're just this good at predicting your interests"?

Well, it happens they were doing exactly that.

Elliott is a great writer and a standup guy. I really enjoyed this book.

Jerry Lawson, the inventor of the video game cartridge.

This is Jerry Lawson. He invented the video game cartridge for the Fairchild Channel F system. Because of his invention, many consoles had cartridges and CD formats and would become the norm.

The Atari 2600, NES, Genesis, and many consoles wouldn't exist without him.

Happy Black History Month.

< Note Kirstie Kimball 3d substack If you don't live in Minneapolis, I need you to know a few things about the occupation. -the helicopters don't stop -there are so many abductions from cars that we have a towing moratorium and there are constantly cars parked haphazardly in the street-these are often running or have their hazards on and they often have glass from broken windows by the wheels -even if you're stationary in one spot, you will likely see ICE multiple times a day -songs with honking or whistles on sports TVs in bars get people to stand up automatically -most restaurants, even those that aren't owned by immigrants, have locked their doors -there was a military style checkpoint by the execution site of Alex Pretti last night and people had to prove they live there with ID or mail to get into their neighborhood -whatever you see on the news or Instagram, it's worse

Love Poppy!

It’s worse than it looks in Minneapolis But locals are organizing to keep each other safe from ICE agents.

As Homeland Security’s siege on Minneapolis enters its third week, locals are volunteering for patrol shifts, protesting in the streets, and keeping one another up to date in group texts.

Frodo: I wish so much unbelievably stupid shit had not happened in my time Gandalf: So do all who live to see such times. This is all exceptionally stupid, though

Videos Show How ICE Vehicle Stops Can Escalate to Shootings A WSJ visual investigation found that the Minneapolis ICE killing is one of 13 incidents where federal immigration agents have used deadly force against civilians in vehicles since July.

WSJ investigation: In the past 6 months ICE agents have fired at vehicles 13 times, leading to:

* 8 people shot
* 5 of which were U.S. citizens
* 2 died
* no victims drew a weapon

The playbook: Agents box in a vehicle, block attempts to flee, then fire

Relax. We're only facing yet another existential threat with about a 50% chance of narrowly escaping yet again.

The creator of Cowboy Bebop, Shinichiro Watanabe, is back at hard boiled sci-fi action with LAZARUS. He says it’s way different despite the genre, informed by the climate and opioid crises, and the final work of Cowboy Bebop’s genius writer Keiko Nobumoto. First clip.
